16 GDB 198IlIli8Il CHARLES D. DIEFFERSON Member of Literary Society, Atlzlet-ic Association, Baseball and Basketball Teams Jeff, although a native of this metro- polis, has not been with us during all four years of our eventful career, but started out on a sojourn which included two years at John Marshall High School and one year of office work, however, as his mind developed he began to see the errors of his ways and finally returned to us in our Junior year. Since then he has buckled down to his work as though Varina were the only place on the map Cexcept Glendalel, and has played an admirable part in all the school activities, as is shown by the fact that he won letters for baseball and basketball both years. a position on the 'ZZ Literary Team, a posi- tion on the Varinian Staff, a position in the heart of our salut-but that is not exactly school activity-in short he's proven to all of us satisfactorily, and to one of us supersatisfactorily, that he is an honest to goodness fellow and a worth while friend. Mfvrrm LORRAINE JOHNSON Member ofljteraryS0ciety,Atl1letic Association and Girls' Basketball Team Lorraine is one of our best girl ath- letes, she being on the basketball team several years and always a high point winner on field days. Lorraine is specializing in Domestic Science and is a very good scholar. She will make some Cunluckyj fellow a good cook. Lorraine is a good worker in things that she likes and is sure to make a success of life.

',g.r'j.ng:.'v- - ' the varinian lg OLIVE HALL Member of Literary Sorivfy Olive is the class baby and acts the part. She is a shark when it comes to French or Latin. She is a good sport in spite of her occasional laziness and we do not know what we would do without her. Olive has many accomplishments, she being the artist of this masterpiece. Her one fault is getting others into trouble with things she does not wish to do her- self. No matter what her faults are we feel sure she will be a credit to her class as a French teacher and OLD MAID. RANDOLPH P. HARRISON Zllmlzbcr ofLiteraryS0rir'ty,Af11Ie!ir f1.rsoc'iaz'i0n, Baseball and Bmrlccflmll Teams Rannie has been with us all four years, and we wonder what we should have ever done without him. He is very popular among his fellow students as is shown by the oflices he has held. Rannie has a jolly side, in fact he carries it so far that he has been declared to be the silliest boy at Varina. Rannie has proved to be the leading athletic star, he being Captain of Basketball for two years and Manager of Baseball. We recommend Randolph as one of the most promising students Varina has ever turned out. Y

He can get along with less work in lab. than any one else. XVhile he did not make the basketball team he made the members work hard to get ahead of him. He is also a great second baseman. VVhile Doc has not been hit by the flames yet, he is getting along at a sur- prising rate. Good luck Doc. CRCILE L. McCo1.L1sTr:R .llt'Illf7C'l' of Literary S0l'l.l'f.V Cecile. who possesses considerable com- mand and executive ability, especially among her schoolmates, is one of the most noteworthy characters of our class. Although she has never had any great fondness for studying the daily lessons assigned. she has found a deep love for literature and is the most widely read among us. She has acquired a very vivid imagination and has displayed it success- fully in compositions and short stories which she has written for English, but more than that she has won for herself the place as Class Prophet, Cecile is one of the inseparable two. in fact, we do not see how she and Olive will be able to get along without one another when their school days are over.
